The Russian invasion has sparked unprecedented sanctions against Russia that have motivated the departure of many Western companies and that are projected to cause a contraction of as much as 15% in 2022. Simultaneously, the Russian army has experienced an extremely high casualty rate. What impact are such developments likely to have on authoritarian durability in Russia? Four experts on Russian politics, mass protest and civil military relations will discuss the impact of the invasion on Russian domestic politics.
